Washington County Virginia Sheriff Fred Newman said Dillow lined up a
dozen students in a welding class and fired the blank gun in their
direction.
Sheriff Newman said it was a "blank firing handgun" and that everything
is realistic about the weapon, except it cannot shoot bullets.

Here's my armchair psychology for today. This man has control issues in his everyday life in which he feels like he is a victim. The weapon itself empowered him and gave him a rush like the first hit for an addict. By pulling the trigger he got to live out his fantasy without the repercussion of injuries/death but he still got to watch these boys suffer. That's what it was all about for him. Glad he's in the proper hands now.

i was in college in a criminal justice class and the instructor as a training activity had a mask man come into the class room and brandish a weapon without warning. the intent was to have students write the description down immediatly afterward and compare them. My description was easy it was the guy lying in the floor after beig hit with a desk lol.

While I agree that he shouldn't have done it in the first place, how can a device that CAN'T shoot bullets be defined as a "weapon"? Using their logic, my kids Nerf guns are "weapons" and they commit felonies (aggrivated assault at the least)every day by shooting each other with them.

@knowyourlimit Wow...unbelieveable. I'm in Vermont where all you need is $$ to purchase and over 16 to conceal carry (with parents permission). Still need to be 21 to buy any ammo that will fit in a handgun though...still trying to figure that out.
